1West Coast University - ATI Dosage Calculation
Proctored Assessments
Important Information
Nurses must understand medication administration. Although other healthcare providers play
key roles, thenurse administers the medications to the patient and MUST be accurate. It is the
nurse’s responsibility to calculate dosages and to administer medications safely.
1. West Coast University nursing students will be required to take standardized medication
math exams throughout the BSN program to establish competency. Medication math exams
are the ATI Dosage Calculation Proctored Assessments. The exams consist of 5 practice
questions and 20 scored items that are designed to assess the student’s mastery of
mathematical computations that are essential for safe nursing practice at each designated
level. They will be administered by computer to student cohorts by faculty members and/or
proctors in the classroom setting. Students will have a time limit of 45 minutes to completethe
medication math exams. Drop-down calculators are included in the test.
2. Each student must successfully attain competency in order to continue in the
corresponding nursing course(s) and progress to the subsequent term. A minimum of 90%
must be achieved on each medicationmath test.
3. Students may not administer medication in the clinical setting until after having passed the
course medication math competency exam. Once a student has successfully passed the exam
s/he may administer medications with a WCU faculty member or licensed nurse employed by
the clinical facility present, and in keeping with facility policy.
4. Students will be given a total of 3 attempts- three days apart, to pass each course medication
math competency exam. A mandatory Letter of Concern will be generated with each
unsuccessful attempt. Students must attend math workshop(s) and/or tutor with an instructor,
and use the math resources listed below prior to second or third attempts to pass the
medication math competency. NOTE: Documented remediation must be presented prior to
these exams. Second and third attempts will be scheduled outside of class time by the course
faculty or Testing Coordinator SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE.
5. Failure of the medication math exam the third time constitutes a failure in the clinical
course for that term. In this case, the student must withdraw from the corresponding theory
course, as theory and clinical must be taken concurrently. The student may not progress in
the program until the clinical course is successfully passed.
